You know what I wonder?
You were talking about like, if you go away and then come back,
You kind of have a renewed appreciation for your home, your dog, your wife, whatever.
But if you travel a lot and go and come and go and come, do you habituate to that?
And then it's no big deal.
And why is it that when you change your environment that that stirs things up?
Well, when you think about all the things you've habituated to,
The good things and the bad things.
It's amazing.
We just get used to stuff.
And what if we didn't?
And I love your advice about if there are things you enjoy, break them up.
You'll enjoy them more.
And things you don't enjoy, don't break them up.
Get them done.
and you'll suffer less.
I've been speaking with Tali Sherritt.
She's a professor of cognitive neuroscience at University College in London and at MIT, and she's author of a book called Look Again, The Power of Noticing What Was Always There.
And there's a link to that book in the show notes.
Thanks, Tali.
